A mathematical problem is a problem that is amenable to being represented, analyzed, and possibly solved, with the methods of mathematics. This can be a real-world problem, such as computing the orbits of the planets in the solar system, or a problem of a more abstract nature, such as Hilbert's problems.
The Editorial Board clearly has a math problem when it comes to analyzing Buehler's education proposals.How much PERS funding will be shifted to education and what is the legal basis for this diversion of funding.
